I remember when the news came out that Clinton had nominated her, and I was delighted. I told my neighbor I was so glad Clinton picked a woman, and she said she didn't realize that people cared about that anymore. We already had a woman on the court, after all. I retorted that it will stop being interesting when we have 5 women on the court -- proportional to the population.

Ever notice how much she looks like Norman Bates' mother. Perhaps she died several years ago. Her staff might be moving her mummified body around and writing her opinions. It was done before with Rehnquist.....Since the majority of Americans are now dead it is only fair that we have a few dead people on the Supreme Court.

If she were truly progressive wouldn't she have siad that it would not be an issue until we had 190 years of all female justices? Looking for 5 female justices seems to be a moderate measure of the equality of the system.

Do you truly believe that racial/gender/religious bean-counting is an effective way to govern the nation

By God President Palin would have been awesome. Not the least of which, feminism would have shat itself, keeled over, and died.

And the misogyny would have been amazing. "President Whore" would have been the least of it. The liberal hypocrisy would have been exposed for all to see. And they would have been robbed (bamboozled!) out of their Great Feminist Moment. Just thinking of all the prune faces gives me the giggles.

And she would have been so awesome as Commander-in-Chief. I still have hopes.
